Zomin

Zomin lies at the foot of the Turkestan mountains east of Jizzakh, where streams descend from wooded heights into the plains of Ustrushana. Medieval caravans travelling between the cities of Transoxiana passed through this country, with Zamin among their stopping places. Mountain valleys and juniper woods rise behind the settlement, while the flatter land to the north opens toward the Syr Darya. Its position joins the mountain-fed oasis to a wider route across the region.
